> It feels like no one really wanted to do that: building something new from scratch that (in theory) didn't have all of the mistakes of X11 would be more fun, and more rewarding.
My understanding from the outside is that this didn't happen, that Wayland is a spec without a reference implementation - that they didn't actually build anything and are leaving the difficult part up to everyone else.
They do have a reference implementation: weston and libweston but as far as I know, third parties don't use. They implement all their own functionality. Weston is confined more as a prototype.
